Rebosis and Ascension issued its circulars to their respective
unitholders for Rebosis proposed takeover of Ascension
Properties. Redefine International reported its interim results for
the period ended 28 February 2015, distribution growth per unit
was 6.7% compared to the previous comparable period.
Vukile raised R1.1 billion and Leaf Capital placed redefine
shares valued at R840 million via accelerated book builds. Both
transactions were well supported and were oversubscribed.
Real Estate fundamentals in South Africa remain challenging,
but strong capital markets and lower yields for longer will be
supportive of listed real estate performance. In the short term,
listed real estate returns are likely to take their direction from
capital markets rather than real estate fundamentals. Over the
long term, real estate fundamentals will drive performance.
